A disintegrating Trump puts Vance a heartbeat away from the presidency, but there’s more than Vance to fear. Although Trump has publicly disavowed the architects of Project 2025, any distance between him and the scheme is a mirage. We know, for example, that at least 140 people who once worked for his administration have contributed to the plan, which was orchestrated primarily by the Heritage Foundation. Vance even wrote the forward to a book written by Kevin Roberts, the president of Heritage. Trump has to fill a second administration somehow – and for years, his allies in Washington, D.C., have been strategizing for just such an occasion. “Eighty percent of my time is working on the plans of what’s necessary to take control of these bureaucracies,” said Russell Vought to a pair of undercover British journalists this summer. Vought, a former Trump official, is widely considered to be a candidate for Trump’s prospective chief of staff. He added that “we are working doggedly on that, whether it’s destroying their agencies’ notion of independence … whether that is thinking through how the deportation would work.”

He may be, but the rest of his party isn't. He's only the mascot.

Dilapidated Donald they're calling him, Dilapidated Donald it's true, it's very funny. His own party is keeping him alive with a cocktail of drugs and injections. It's unbelievable! It's unbelievable what these people are doing. It should be illegal... Illegal.

Maybe that's why he always smells so bad, he's dying, very sad, and he's too old to run! You knkw if I was in office - I just thought of this - it's very smart. Kind of genius actually - I'd put an age cap on politicians. We wouldn't have these old people in office. They're incapable. I think I'm going to do that when I win.

But in all seriousness folks, they don't need him to win, and he won't be the guy in office. They just need him as a spokes person, a popular millionaire figurehead so they can win. It's cheating, that's what it really is, a form of cheating. Then after that Billionaire Peter Thiel will actually be in office. Pulling the strings on JD Vance like a puppet, puppet person - and he looks like a puppet doesn't he folks?

Still too coherent and cerebral to pass as Trump.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

Stephen “Baby Himmler” Miller graduated from Donnie Diaper Duty. That’s Ron Desantis’ job now.

Donald Trump Is Deteriorating

...was this report published by Internet Explorer?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

This isn't true

You can't deteriorate something that was already deteriorated to begin with. This the bottom of the barrel ... you can't lower than this.

Not there yet but America sure is running towards it ....

I'm mean, president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho wanted to help the population, solve the crop issue and did listen to smarter people. He was a bit impatient but accepted the reality if he saw it and could change his opinion. I'd vote for him over trump every time.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago

When has trump ever not been able to go lower? If he can’t do it in quality he’ll do it in quantity.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago

Not fast enough
